was driving to the end of the road, about to turn right, kept the car in second as i always do when its still moving, and the fcuking thing stalled.

Bit embarrassing as i had my girlfriend in the car at the time, but thought o well, and tried to start, but the engine just wouldnt fire up, tried a few times, and was about to tell the missus that she was walking to work!

after playing with the accelerator pedal for a bit it went , abit reluctantly, but it went, and then the revs shot straight up, probably to 4000 or so, and was idling at that.

Obviously was quite tricky driving as had no proper throttle control, but about a mile down the road the problem stopped??

Anyone know what it is, or could have been and what to do about it, cz i dont want it to happen again!!

Cheers
